    Yea, he played D3 pretty extensively but the direction they've taken that game is inscrutable to him (and me).

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Out of that list, I'm only familiar with timeless isle. It was a catch-up mechanism to bring returning players up to the current tier of raiding. I don't think its accurate to call that progression in its own right. Regardless, Timeless Isle lasted, what, a few weeks tops and it provided gear...

    Riot should have done an April Fools faux-patch notes for a shit ton of nerfs to champs because they're OP in URF mode.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So, I've already quit WoW and a friend is about to. He's the "lonewolf" type who can't really get into raids because his preferred play-style is solo. Obviously, MMOs in general are likely to be a poor fit for him. We got to discussing why Blizzard hasn't tried to target that demographic...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    Got a friend thinking of giving this game a shot; anyone who is familiar with the other big aRPGs (D3/POE), mind chiming in with their thoughts on Marvel Heroes? Things that are good, things that aren't so good?

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My impression is she sits around bored as fuck watching dumb TV shows all week and is looking towards her husband to entertain her. He'd rather drink and be entertained as opposed to be the entertainer. I suspect most of us on this forum are similiar in that we can entertain ourselves for...

    Given: non-infinite campaigns and a vested interest in clean-slate beginnings, it doesn't matter how much extra tiers of loot devs throw into a campaign. It's all relative; if PRX is playing in a Campaign with T10 gear its just the same as T8 gear given that everyone in the campaign begins with...

    No. Playing Cork properly involves atk moving + weaving abilities inbetween auto attacks. I think a champ like Cait would be better for a beginner.

    Shrug, I was doing it with WTM and my understanding is they're more casual/newb friendly. I think their policy is they have to take anyone who Xs up with the minimum. I'm not surprised they aren't min-maxing their incursion size, either... lol.

    Yea in a game like this, chipping Riot some money every few weeks goes a long way. Especially for a new account that will likely want to play random champs and google random guides that suggest runes you don't have quite frequently. It's by no means necessary; you'll be "skill-capped" for...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Maybe its naive of me but it seems disingenuous to back-date "work done" in such a manner. I mean, if you up-front launched a KS and said ("The first 500k of money received will go to paying all of us for getting this far.") then that's honest and adults can make their own decisions... but I...

    If you like the game, buy IP boosts and buy rune pages. I've gotten hundreds and hundreds of hours out of LoL over years; if you invest $50 into boosts and a rune page pack you're absolutely guaranteed to make good on that investment.

    Eh, group tends to imply a smaller # to most people. If I said "43 man group content" most people would think "so... a raid?" haha.

    Did my first incursion ever as logistics for the first time ever with the WTM guys. Was decent fun -- not something I'd grind day in day out but compared to WoW raids its a walk in the park and its surprising how much more mature it felt. We did some easy mode site then the FC was like "we...

    The trick to Nasus is ignore team and farm. If you lose before you're farmed enough, blame your team. If you win, it's because you were there for the sweet carry.

    What's wrong with you, spending money on games like some pleb. If only we could go back to the old days where all games were free and monetization wasn't a thing.

    I agree with the gist of Lyrical's posts: most people should lift because the benefits are far-ranging and apply to practically any human's short/mid/longterm goals. He's just got some weird bro-science mixed in.

    I like AMR. It costs $2/mo and takes any guesswork out of min-maxing gear pieces. Granted, it was far more useful in MoP when reforging was a thing, but even now its definitely caught a handful of things that I wouldn't have recognized on my own. This being said, its by no means necessary. I...

    This is just re-branding the calories in < calories out formula. No one disputes this; but many have their own personal nuances of addiction that complicate the formula. I may as well just tell someone to eat less than they burn. I also have doubts regarding long-term athletic performance...

    I'm trying to think of a game that Bliz launched in the last two decades that did poorly. While this is a new IP, it cracks me up with people dismissing it already as if they know better than Blizzard.

    And I'm explaining to you why I feel that it ought to be everyone's concern. Look at the rising rate of obesity; its nowhere even close to leveling off. Half my college classes are obese with a handful of morbidly obese (Georgia). These are kids. They're looking to their peer groups and...

    I suggested an experiment. My wife hates IF, I like it. I've seen other people of all varying sizes vouch for it. The problem with a conventional system like you suggest is that you won't really get that satisfying full feeling that some of us crave. I absolutely despise going to bed hungry...

    Brutal, I don't have children yet but I plan to. I'm concerned about the example adults set for our children. I don't particularly relish having to explain to my kids why I'm right and everyone in our family is wrong. We all have a great deal of respect for one another and everyone's...

    Crone, I don't necessarily disagree with Taebin, but I'd be real worried about jogging at 6'6 321. That's a lot of force you're applying to your (likely) already beaten-up knees/shins/ankles. Plus, a running injury for someone like fifey (rolled ankle) is one thing but a large man like you...

    Douchebro = expectation of moderate level of fitness/nutrition in a woman? You're a fat guy and your comment is pretty cliche. No one can stop you from rolling diabetus dice or sharing those dice with your partner. God knows, spending a few months eating less food would be the end of all joy...

    Not sure how familiar you are with ranked LoL, but that type of dumb shit play happens across all spectrums of ranked. While there is a noticeable rise in awareness/decision making from bronze to plat, its very very marginal. People are still bigdicking and thinking ego first.
